A Striking Longines Ultronic with a Tuning Fork Movement Comprising a Stylish Linen Dial with Brushed Steel Tonneau Case – c.1970

The Longines Ultronic range, introduced in the early 1970s, marked the brand’s embrace of the electronic watch revolution. Powered by the tuning fork ESA 9162/9164 movement, shared with brands like Omega and Longines, these models delivered exceptional accuracy and a smooth, humming seconds hand. With bold 1970s case designs and IWC’s trademark craftsmanship, the Ultronic bridged tradition and innovation, reflecting the industry’s experimentation during the Quartz Crisis. Today, they’re admired as distinctive, collectible pieces of horological history.
